Maybe he can get some of our men back to Earth, though of course we're all expendable. We can't let these monsters have the wheel and Hot Rod! That's what they need for power " "Bessie " "Of course, we can stand and fight for as long as possible, but we're sitting ducks, and even with Hot Rod there's not much we can do we can't fire on Earth, we'd hit friend as well as enemy.
From a practical standpoint, however, anything that James contracted for was expendable and of vital necessity. He could not stop payment on a check for his rent, nor claim that he had not received proper payment for his stories and demand damages.
That was the trouble with being mixed up with that kind of people you were expendable, and sooner or later, they would decide that they would have to expend you. And what could you do?
Send out another scouting party and let them be trailed back?" "That's our last resource." Travis continued to frown at the map. Yes, it would be possible to let the Reds sight and trail an Apache party. But there was none in the clan who were expendable. Surely there was some other way of laying the trap with the wrecked ship for bait.

It hurt to find out that he was just another man, just another expendable. Most people fought against making the discovery, and some succeeded in avoiding it. But Cochrane saw his own self-deceptions with a savage clarity even as he tried to keep them. He did not admire himself at all. The helicab began to slant down toward the space-port buildings. The sky was full of stars.
"I didn't want us to lose it, this time, and I didn't want to see you lose face around City Hall. Gutchalls, of course, are expendable," Allan said. "But my main reason for fixing Frank Gutchall up with a padded cell was that I wanted to know whether or not the future could be altered. I have it on experimental authority that it can be.
Simultaneous combat operations require a number of expensive, expendable platforms in the opening hours of the conflict if our response is to be timely and induce shock. Awe is not achieved if the enemy is permitted to gain experience in being attacked; at best you may make them numb.
There might be side factors, perhaps long-standing debilitation. It's a chance." "A chance we will have to take. In less than seventy hours this planet is due for destruction. In attempting to avert that tragedy I'm expendable, as is everyone else here. Agreed?" The doctor grunted deep in his beard and looked Brion's immense frame up and down. "Agreed," he said, almost happily.
